Sega, I remember you guys lied that Iron Man 2 game was an improvement from the first game. Guess what? It got a lowered score than the first Iron Man. If you want our dollars, make Cap right like everyone is saying! If there is an Iron Man 3 Movie, make that great too!!!

I think that the ideal development team for this might be Rocksteady... 'cept they're busy with Arkham City. This said, I hope that whoever Sega does tap for this learns well from what that game did right.

I'm willing to follow this one to see if it delivers. Hopefully it will be as good as Spider-man 1 & 2 or Wolverine Origins game. Though it's a shame that we have to wait until a movie is due to get a game based on characters like Captain America. More Marvel character should get the videogame treatment.

I don't know why people are so sad over Activision losing Marvel properties. They were hardly doing them justice in the first place. Outside of a few good Spider-man games there were a few X-men themed 2D fighters and a couple of squad based games like X-men Legends and Ultimate Alliance which were hardly utilising these properties to their potential.

There should be more attempts to bring these characters to videogames and not just movie game tie-ins.

As soon as I read this article I suddenly passed out my eyes rolling into the back of my head, my body twitching uncontrollably. I was suddenly sent forward into the future and as I woke, back in our time, I gained the knowledge that we all must know. This game...will suck...go now TELL THE WORLD!!! NOBODY CAN MAKE A GOOD COMIC TO MOVIE TO VIDEO GAME

the game profile says Developer TBA, but the in game photos are by Next Level games, the guys who made Spider-Man: Friend of Foe. that game got shitty reviews. BUT they also made Super Mario Strikers, which I dug very much, and got some good competition out of, and Punch-Out!!! on Wii which I didn't play but I read some decent reviews for it. So it'll be a toss-up because while they CAN make a good game, their comic license track record is currently 0-1. Neversoft finally came out with a Spider-Man formula that works, Treyarch capitalized on it, and since then Spider-Man games have watered down that mechanic to the point of mediocrity. WEAKSAUCE, capitalism.
Captain America, you'd think, is relatively straightforward. He hasn't had his own game in a while so it's possible that something fun/unique can be done, but I'm jaded enough to predict another action-adventure clone that has no unique or redeeming features. I'm cynical to prevent my comic book loving feelings from being hurt, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I'll be watching you, Super Soldier... but not too intensely.

I don't understand why anyone would be excited about this. First of all, I loce Captain America, especially in a WW2 setting, but this is a Sega superhero game. Does anyone honestly think this will be better tha their Iron Man and Hulk pieces of buggy garbage that came out when those movies were released? I hope this game is good but let's be realistic IGN- For a change.

Last I checked, the last time Sega had anything to do with Captain America was "Captain America and the Avengers" on the Genesis. That was an amazing game, that I still play to this day. You could play as Iron Man, Hawkeye, Vision, but really the Cap is where it's at. Awesome music, and absolutely hilarious dialogue, pretty sure it was all the same guy too. Consider this tidbit: "You came here to die!" "Why should it go well?" Many times when I have a bad day, I'll sit down and play it for 30-40 mins (all it takes to beat it) and it'll seriously cheer me up.
However, Sega didn't develop that game, I believe it was Data East, but if this new game is anything near the quality of that game (I doubt it), I will definitely buy it.

@Azog_the_Uruk_13 Man i wish a good cap game would be great. Good to hear this isn't a movie tie-in gives me hope screenshots look really nice. Red Skull is one of the better and darker villains to hope they shoot for an M rated game. I'd forgive all these ok games that come out if they had GoW 3 graphics exp Dante's Inferno(the games ok but not easy on the eyes couldn't get throug it)

Just because someone created a black Cap and retconed the story doesn't mean he is the original. That's the equivalent of someone writing about a pre-Superman Kryptonian from the 1800's and then bitching that a Superman movie is a hack-job of the "original".

Well Next Level is doing it - at least, the HD version, according to those screens - so it'll probably be shit. No offense; Next Level has made some amazing games....for Nintendo. Mario Strikers and Punch Out? But everything they've done that's licensed is garbage - Transformers Cybertron Adventures, Spider man Friend or Foe, etc. Not to mention, Sega doesn't give these projects time to become good. They're going to throw this together and, at best, it'll end up forgettable. But it's going to suck.

SEGA has yet to make a good superhero game. Activision atleast game us spiderman for ps1, spiderman 2 the movie game for ps2/xbox & I dont know what company gave us incredible hulk ultimate destruction but that one is awesome too. Sega took that idea but still failed with the movie game. Eventhough people still hate activision, they still giving us much better licensed games ie, Transformers: war for cybertron, spiderman shattered dimensions, wolverine etc.

And that's a shame 'cuz Captain America is awesome.

I'm not so much worried about the developers themselves - after all, this could be their breakout title, much like AA was for Rocksteady - but I understand and resonate with your concerns about Sega - being denied proper incubation and refinement time is the curse of games like this, after all.

"So how does this look in motion?" you ask. GameTrailers delivers with a developer walkthrough from NYCC. You can see the AA/Prince of Persia influence in the mechanics... this isn't a bad thing, and what NLG has done so far seems sound.
